York styles aud Novelties.
New cloth bonnets in black and col
ors are shown by the milliners. They
are in close, narrow shapes, decorated
with jet or silk balls around the rims
and crowns. and are sufficiently
trimmed with upright ribbon bows.
Hats are less loaded with trimming
than last season. Felt hats are much
worn, and one to match the color Of
each costume must be had. Feathers,
great tufts of them. dropping toward
the left side, long one trailing toward
the back-are the favorite trimming.
The birds fashionable upon these hats
are sea swallows.
There are three leading things in
children's millinery: young En-
glands Roll Backs" which are hats
with wide brims and low crowns. in
tended for baby boys, the front brim
turning off from the face like the hats
worn by the three gcndarmes when
they sung their famous song in ..Gen-
evieve de Brabant." The baby boys
wear a close cap of lace and ribbon
loops under the brim.
The other two are comforts" q
name applied to cosy bonnets, made
mostly Of ruby velvet. with plated
crown and the front edged with chin
chilla and last Turks caps, which are
round. with pointed bag end at the
side. ending in a tassel. These are
superseding sailor hats of all kinds as
far as children are concerned.
With the cold weather the demand
for woolen hosiery increases. Rich.
dark colors will be preferred. Among
new styles are fleecy stockings. They
have the napc on the outside, which
gives softness and color, and woody
surface. though they are of cotton, and
their consequent low price is in their
favor.
Fedora, Mechlin and Oriental laces
are the most popular laces used.
French thread and Chantilly lace will
supersede Spanish fur-trimming and
general use. White and colOred crepe
lisse, exquisitely embroidered with
daisies and other flowers, will be used
at the wrist and throat of handsome
dresses. The canvas ruchings arc not
so much used rs in the early part of
the season.
[ The newest fans are of moderate di-
mensions and are of black gauze,
mounted on ebony sticks. the leaf ard
stick being alike set thickly with
spanges of gold and silver, or of blue
metal or of red. The red spangles pro-
duce peculiarly brilliant effect. For
evening wear, white Grape with ivory
sticks spangled with gold or silver are
shown, and also fans of pale pink or
lilac feathers, with the mounting in
bone stained to match precisely the hue
of the feathers.
Even silk wraps are now made
impervious to rain; so are woolens of
various grades used for cloaking. The
long, loose cloak of this style is very
fashionable, and the same shape may
be made of corded, lined with plush or
q snnel, and many. line with canton
flannel, with silk over this of some
bri yht tint, giving a much neater ef-
feet. The curved upper edge is gath
cred the size of the neck and finished
into velvet band two and thrce-q uar-
ter inches broad, while the back is laid
in two plaits on each side, with a belt
underneath, drawing the mantle in at
the waist.
Red remains in favor and is shown
in a variety of shades, terra-cotta,
brick. poppy, ruby, cherry and cardinal
being few of the darker shades Rose
pink, salmon, shrimp and coral are
evening shades. Strawberry and rasp-
berry are again seen. but the most pop
ular of all colOrs is the new tint called
heliotrope. dull. soft purple that is
much used for bonnets and is very be-
coming to nearly all tints Of complex
ion. The hair is to be worn lower by
young women. The back-hair will be
laid in braided coils at the back of the
head for street wear, with a Russian
bang; in the evening it is still more
to heap the hair in soft folds
on top of the head, with the bang slight
ly curled. A very new fashion is two
light French twists turning towards
each other and meeting all the way up !
the back of the head, with the ends |
lightly crimped and folded. held in
place by big tortoise-shell pins.-M Y.
